And check. Different dress, same style.

If you're doing Mana style I would suggest OTKs/thigh highs rather than knee-high socks, since Mana rarely used knee-highs. Those you used fishnets are inappropriate regardless because the fishnets that showed up in oldschool and with Mana were usually narrow-gauge fishnets and not wide-gauge ones, which come off as much more modern/edgy. If you were dead set on fishnets you could layer narrow-gauge ones or fishnet lace tights under OTK socks, it should show a thin strip if you get some poof in your petti. I'd suggest either only bustling the top layer at the back or not bustling the skirt at all.

Narrow-gauge fishnets were used in oldschool classic a lot and are not always fetishy - pic related. If I guess correctly you've got an old VM bustier on in your pic so you could look to old VM stylings for inspo?

I kind of like >>9551399's suggestion of using the RHS alone as a pop of colour without using a hair accessory, but I do think you should have at least one piece of jewellery. Plain velvet chokers like >>9551400 were not really seen in oldschool and necklaces were much more commonly-seen. the long beaded chain necklace near top right would be absolutely perfect, as Moitie has used chains like that a LOT in necklaces before:

(you can find a few more examples by Google Imaging "moitie necklace")

I also think that heart bag just flat-out doesn't match the coord or suit oldschool at all, but it'll have to do if you don't have another bag. Honestly if you have a very plain normie bag it might suit the oldschool aesthetic better, oldschool gothic often used plain bags from Vivienne Westwood, John Paul Gaultier or no brand at all.

That's 2010s classic not oldschool. In the early 00s classic lolita brands released a lot of dresses which weren't that different to today but typically styled them with more oldschool hairstyles, fishnets or lace-topped socks instead of print tights/OTKs. They were also much more likely to use colour palettes like making all their accessories match the lace on the dress, rather than using more of a mixture like today.

Pic related is from 2002.

I don't even like the coord of the girl we're discussing that much, but please just shut up and stop acting like five years ago was an age away just because you only got into lolita yesterday.

Is pic related them from way back? I'm pretty sure it's Misako but if it is Midori as well, it looks like she may have have some cosmetic treatments done too.

I think make-up and lighting styles make a big difference. I must admit however, I do like the 'rawness' of some of the old lolita bible pictures, I think there's a certain charm in them as well.
